First days

Right after installation

3 days

First wash after 3 days

Let the film set before the first wash.

Normal

Small water drops under the film

They are normal and disappear as it dries. Don't press on them.

Don't touch

Don't touch the film's edges

Don't lift them, and don't try to stick or trim them yourself.

Every wash

Ongoing care

By hand

Wash by hand

A gentle car shampoo and a microfiber mitt.

About 1 m

Pressure washer at a distance

Keep it about a meter away, and never aim it at the film's edges.

No

No brush car washes

Brushes scratch the film and may lift its edges. Hand washing is better.

Quickly

Bird droppings and insects

Remove them as soon as you can, especially in the heat.

No

No compounds or solvents

No abrasive polishes, no colored wax, and no gasoline or thinner.

Heat

Light scratches disappear

With sun or warm water. A deep scratch won't disappear.

Shade extends the film's life. Covered parking reduces the effect of sun and heat. After every wash, take a look at the edges.
